 Shout out to everyone that helped Conqueror get his visa to be able to attend this tournament, right? Like, I feel like visas are the eternal enemy of the international eSports player, but... Especially for Conqueror, specifically. No, he was having a lot of issues, but, you know, thanks to the efforts of a handful of people, and of course himself also was able to make the trip over, and here he is here, ready to play against DZTT, but he has that Sub-Zero, that Dead of Witness Sub-Zero, and just like you said, he plays on pure fundamentals, he plays on footsies, he plays on whiff punish, on buffering, and a very common mistake that people make is they see him not go for overheads very often, which is normally the Dead of Witness staple, and they're like, you're never going to win if you never use it. But he doesn't pick Dead of Witness for the overhead combo, he picks it for the eSport. He wants the eSport for conversions, for whiff punish, to shut down projectiles in the neutral, and it works for him, but DZ, bringing in that... Actually, is this going to be upgraded or first round KO? Because I know DZ plays both very well. I didn't have a chance to see the variations. I'm going to go out on the limb and say it's upgraded, but I know he does play first round. Yeah, some of this is upgraded, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's first round. Okay, it is upgraded, I see. But again, Conqueror plays a very solid fundamental style. At the same time though, he's going to need to get a little risky to be able to put some damage on the table and keep DZ respectable on the ground. Oh, try to end here a little bit too late. Okay, a little bit of a drop, but... No, I actually wonder if he wanted to end in Nash punch, but up to just not to the last minute. Again, back one, but no hit control on that again. Conqueror has been so on point with those flawless block reversals. It's one of the scariest things about him as a player is his decisions on not only when to flawless block, but his execution on it, right? If he goes to flawless block, he's probably going to get it. And honestly, Conqueror is like in a touch of death situation right now. He can just confirm one ice ball into fatal blow, and that's going to do it. But the question is, will he have the chance? He is just blocking for dear life. Oh, you saw the short hop. That was definitely a flawless block attempt. It didn't quite work out. It's just so hard to be able to read. You have to be able to read the max of it, then react accordingly. Conqueror, unfortunate. Beautiful standing one, anti-air by Dizzy though. Oh, wake up down one, Conqueror, stealing that advantage. Another one, and this time goes for a grab, but it's teched. Dizzy's defense is incredibly on point right now. He's taking his time, and we were already seeing a more patient upgraded out of Dizzy, I think. He's not really flying all over the screen as much as we've seen before. I think he definitely has it in him to play that crazy, but the question is, is it appropriate for right now? Conqueror, there it is. The amplified ice ball. Nice chunk of damage off that. Spends both bars, 30%. Yes, please. No resources to go for that flawless block reversal, and this will definitely be able to close out the second round. Conqueror, answering back pretty strong. Now going into round number three, he needs to be able to make some damage happen now. Forced Dizzy off of that defensive meter as quickly as possible. Oh, big whip punish there though. Bar is spent, no break weight. Oh no, Conqueror opts to go for it. Grab after the break weight. Conqueror is in a lot of trouble back to the wall and no resources to work with. Oh, no confirm. Very rare to see Conqueror miss the confirm on the 1-2, but salvage is straight away. Nice little check there on the 4-3 by Dizzy. And another drop. I mean, at this point, Conqueror needs... A clutch play coming out from Conqueror. And there it is, the one risk. He's just going to go for it. Why not? Now, the funniest thing is that actually didn't hit because it was an overhead. Dizzy jumped, and it caught the seed. He finally went for a risk, and is it going to be able to pay off a missed jump attack? But a forward grab! And Conqueror, by the skin of his teeth, you can tell that quick sigh of relief as well. Literally, the first time Conqueror has gone for that overhead the entire day, and it worked. And that is the strength of Dead of Winter, right? Like, that overhead, like, traditionally on the ground, like, the idea is you can react to it so it's unsafe, right, so it's dangerous to use. But when you barely use it the way that Conqueror does, like, he uses it so sparingly that when he finally decides to let it go, you might not be ready on that one moment it might hit. But obviously, in that situation, Dizzy was jumping, so it wasn't really because it was an overhead. But the important thing is he showed that he's willing to go for it, right? And this is a run-back too, we have to remember. Dizzy and Conqueror played at Brazil Game Show, and Dizzy won that match, so you know Conqueror has been wanting this run-back. This is definitely a high-stakes run-back at that. And you know what? I respect Conqueror going for that overhead now. This is the loser's bracket, so you really... If you want to show something, this is the time to do it because you might not get another chance. We're already seeing a handful of combo drops already at Dizzy. I'm going to avoid saying before, right? When you're playing him great and you drop like this, it's very dangerous. You lose so much momentum. Just the respect. These flawless block reversals are on point. Oh, no. Oh, still, man. Okay. Wait, was that intentional? I don't know. You think that was intentional to get underneath? Because I don't think he can walk underneath like that. You honestly might be right. Because he was so ready. If not, that was the cleanest drop and conversion. I've ever seen him. That was one of the most intri... If that was intentional when I'm willing to bet that it was, that was one of the most interesting pieces of tech I've seen. All tournament. That was incredible. He goes, Dizzy, trying to keep that corner brush. Conqueror is really just all over Dizzy right now with those flying gates to switch those positions. Another drop though from Dizzy. His execution is really laying him down right now. He needs to be able to tighten up. This game is a lot more in Conqueror's favor. And at the same time, he's really been able to keep himself away from the corners. When she has upgraded Jackie, you don't want to be in that situation. He spends both bars at me enough. Not quite. Oh, the punish on that roll. Nice scout. Yeah, you saw Dizzy. He was walking. He was looking for something. Conqueror, he is. He's playing from his heart. You can see every decision is reacting. He's impacting him in real life. Which we really didn't see when he was on the winner's side. So you can tell he feels the pressure of this. Yeah, that the heat definitely beginning to add up now. He's getting a little bit too antsy. Dizzy. The aggression is paying off so much more right now. Little bits of plus frames and the staggers to follow up. And the second he lets go of block. There it is. That nine free mid. That fast option. Oh, bigger. Man, yeah. Very nice forcing Dizzy off of the breakaway. Conqueror trying to get aggressive. Standing one anti-air, but an unfortunate drop. Can this be what Conqueror needs? I mean, he spends the bar, gets the good knockdown. He has that fatal blow also. Oh, that would have been such a nice confirm. You could tell Dizzy's getting a little bit more. He's second guessing himself a little bit more with the mix-ups in the air, but still was able to close out that second game. We are at a one-one tie. This has been, this is pretty much as back and forth as you could possibly ask for. I feel like you could say that about like any set today. This is madness. I have never seen such a consistency, a consistently close world finals for another game. Like the level of play we're seeing and how even to each other, everyone is, is insane. And I cannot wait to see what happens later in the day as well, but before we get to that point, we have a set to finish. Dizzy ties things up, won a piece now. There's upgraded picks, definitely working out. No breakaway by Conqueror. I think he's trying to save on to those resources, so he has those reversals at his disposal. But that could hurt him. He's already pretty much at the verge of losing this round and then he finally breaks away. So this is his time to make something happen. He's being respectful, but when you're this far, you're far behind in life, you have to be so careful. Oh, there's the air shot. Although a mistake, but not punished by Conqueror. Speedway Joe doesn't miss that one. They'll wake up buttons to whiff punish. Oh, the blast and he got the corner position. That was perfect for Dizzy. An unfortunate situation for Conqueror. Had the chance to really be able to start some momentum as dead of winter when you have the corner positioning, that is one of the scariest things in the game. Oh, that whiff punish on that button as well. Dizzy going to get that blast over the top. They go using the amplified ice ball just to switch positions and get a little bit extra damage. Nice air to air. Spends the other bar. And this is one of the most important things for Conqueror. I played dead of winter. A safe jump. Lovely time, but no. Safe on flawless block. No doubt Conqueror wasn't sure that was going to be able to work. But gets the escape failed. Has the potential to be able to close out the second round. But he's too costly mistakes away from having this game taken out of his hands. The rest and he wants one hit. Dizzy can take it off one. One hit in the fatal blow. Dizzy is going to be able to take this round. Oh, the read on the anti-air. And that's going to catch him on the way down. Conqueror gets caught on the way up. This is 100% going to go. He's dead. He is super dead. And that is just the patience that Dizzy needs to have to be able to take the set and beautifully displayed at that. But you can see it from Conqueror too. He knows that one hit into death is all it takes. But what do you do? Do you sit there? Do you block? Do you read the throw? It's dangerous. She has so many options in the hands of someone like Dizzy TT that we can see is playing with a lot of confidence. It's terrifying. But I want to say a shout out to this. Instead of Winner Pick, we're seeing him from Conqueror right now. Like this is a very evenly matched set. But again, it's the conversions. He has the best conversions of any Sub-Zero player I've seen. Oh, you know what? And I hate to say this, but I really want to see some more risks. He needs to show that he's not afraid to get a little bit risky because sometimes being too textbook can hurt. He tried, but he mistimed it. But that's the right idea. I think he just needs to start getting a little bit more, just mix it up a little bit more. That's really all there is left that he can do. Everything else is virtually there in his gameplay already. But now Dizzy, just all this momentum right now, and he just seems to be, these stackers are eating Conqueror alive. That's the thing there, right? That's one thing that I like about Dizzy's upgraded because Dizzy is actually like, it might be in primarily a first round KO player that picked up upgraded for a certain times, right? So most of his gameplay is going to be on the ground. And then when he finds that moment, that's when he's going to start going for these leaping shenanigans. But it's dangerous, right? When you're going to get as willing to stay on the ground and go for that deadly, the universal stagger game, it's really tough. And Dizzy now match point. One round from eliminating Conqueror. Conqueror's not out of it just yet. I mean, he can make it work, but it's going to be tough, but he can definitely do it. He's not taking any of these grabs. He still has all this resource to work with. So I'm assuming he's trying to bait out some sort of poke and get that flawless block reversal in there. But these staggers, again, are just eating him alive. Dizzy's using the timing against him. Now Conqueror has nothing to work with. And this could be the end of his... Oh, that's huge. Oh, no, the breakaway from Dizzy. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. He's one touch away. One touch away from being able to get this round. And over! It finally comes out. Doesn't even need to use fatal blow. And that is what I'm talking about. Needs to start incorporating those risks. That's how he's going to be able to come back on this. I mean, he's willing to do it. He has unlocked the next layer. Oh, no! Oh, God. That's one way of stuffing it, but right into it. Conqueror, saving that fatal blow is going to be huge. Oh, that was almost a beautiful hit confirm. But now that drop is going to cost him not just the crushing blow, not just the damage, but the positioning as well. Just waiting for the right time to strike. Dizzy trying to open him up again. Another pull grab. He's just going for the little bits of damage. It actually might be enough, though. Ship damage territory, perhaps. We're almost going to a game five here. Oh, we definitely were at this rate. One hit and there it is. That one, two. Conqueror is being himself, popping up in his seat. Man, this is another game five. Who can say they are surprised at this point to see this? Conqueror went on the verge of being sent home to now potentially turning this entire set around. The stress is now in Dizzy's hands. But this is genuinely where it gets terrifying because Conqueror has this reputation of just never using the Sub-Zero overhead. So I guess when you're a competitive player, you genuinely think, oh, I guess I'm just never going to have to sound like that. It's just the mix-up within the mix-up. But now, when the chips are down and it is time for it, we know Conqueror has shown that he is willing to do it if it needs, but that's the best way to use it. I don't care what anyone says. That is the best way to use Sub-Zero's overhead is sparingly. So when it does come out, they will be the least ready for it. Because we've seen it from K7's show-off, seen it from Conqueror, these players that have won tournaments in this game, they are the most successful Sub-Zero's and they are the Sub-Zero's that use the overhead the least. I feel like the proof is in the results from what we see. I 100% agree. And it's just like you said, too. It kind of makes it even harder to react to that forward, too, even if there's a lot of talk of if you can actually react to it. But at the same time, when you're going up against someone who's notorious for never using it, that whole mind game is just completely out of your brain. So the one time, or in this case, just the two times out of the entire day that Conqueror's throwing out that overhead, it has worked. And now we're seeing a little bit of coaching from both players. Rightfully so. I mean, Dizzy was looking super strong. Conqueror on his last legs and now we are looking at a Game 5 situation in the loser's side. Like this is the tournament life. You've come this far after the entire pro competition. You have to leave everything out there. I mean, no more room for regret. This is it. This is going to be the last single match of the pro competition for one of these guys. Yeah, hate to see it, but it has to happen. One more game. The question is, who's it going to be? No character switch. I don't think. I think Dizzy's just going to stick with that. I'm pretty sure it's upgraded, yeah. But Dizzy playing that upgraded. Getting more comfortable to go through. Conqueror getting braver, getting bolder. Game 5 with a crushing blow. Tracking the skull immediately. Almost could have got a little conversion there, but the down two just enough. Dizzy, you're already seeing way more of a faster pace here. But again, those flawless blocks by Conqueror is going to help stop that. Oh, empty leap. Okay. He's going to be trying to bait out. Oh no, Conqueror. Forcing Conqueror off of that breakaway. And then a lot of little bits of damage. Conqueror already. Wusing this first round. Dizzy immediately on set point. But Dizzy was playing around Conqueror the whole time. He was trying to bait flawless blocks. He was trying to go through these delayed grabs. We saw escape fails. We've unlocked that layer of the match. Conqueror is getting that bar. He's regenerating slowly. Beautiful down one. Forcing Dizzy off of the breakaway. And here we go. This is not where you want to be if you're Dizzy. Nice down two. Perfectly reacting. He tried to go for like a maximum capitalization on that. But just missed it. You know, just playing more patient. Trying to slow Dizzy down. And again, Conqueror just waiting for the right time to strike. Nice grab tech by Dizzy. Oh, and another one of grab Dizzy. I wonder if that's been the main adjustment. Dizzy keeps going through these like late with punish attempts. And Conqueror is just happy to block them. But now we're seeing all these back throws come out too. Conqueror is trying to open them up any which way he can. But no stackers are going to be able to open up Dizzy. Dizzy so close to moving on in the tournament. Conqueror not out of it just yet. He has plenty of fight left in him. Oh, and another overhead. Getting quick by the overheads. And just like that, an unfortunate run for Conqueror. Going from, honestly, a roller coaster of emotions was that entire set of your. I mean, I want to say like everyone here in person, everyone watching at home, like give it up for Conqueror. This guy came from. Absolutely. Absolutely. Like so much success in the Latin America.
